#Today it's Spanish Harlem by Ben E. King

[greekmythfamilytree]

Here are the first three sketches! I will say these are actually a bit old, since I've been working on this project for a while now. I tried to clean them up best I could, but I do think you'll see my style improve as we go on. Still, I like the concepts behind these, and hope you like them too!

1. Khaos: Primordial goddess of of the Chasm. First being in existence.

2. Ge: Child of Chaos, primordial goddess of the Earth

3. Ouranos: Creation of Ge, Primordial god of the Sky

Drift Away! – Soul Kinda Wonderful Drifters Tribute Band

Soul and Motown Revival, Drifters Style!

Bring the legendary songs of Ben E Kind and his famous group the Drifters to your stage for a live event.

Hire Soul Kinda Wonderful Today

Formed over two decades ago, this great Drifters tribute band recreates the fabulous Motown sounds of the original group to perfection. New life is breathed into evergreen classics such as 'Under the boardwalk', 'Spanish Harlem' and 'Save The Last Dance For Me' by Richie Sampson and his great tribute show.  

Richie has taken to the stage alongside great members of the iconic Drifters such as Ray Lewis and Roy Hemmings. This close up and personal involvement allowed him to bring a truly authentic, yet original feel to this highly professional show. Richie has a long association with the musical world and goes way back to his original days as the frontman for chart-topping band, The Foundations' (Build me Up Buttercup,  Baby Now That I've Found You). Since then he's worked with many respected professionals  while perfecting his tribute. This resulted in the 2013 Agents association award for the best Drifters Tribute. Needless to say, this and their fantastic popularity and high audience satisfaction rating, makes them one of our Platinum collection of top tribute acts.

Music History Today: October 31, 2022

October 31, 1960: The Drifters took the Number 1 spot on the R&B chart with "Save The Last Dance For Me." The lead singer for this song was Ben E. King, who a few months later started scoring solo hits with "Spanish Harlem" and "Stand By Me."

When they were recording the song Atlantic Records boss Ahmet Ertegun told King how the song was inspired by Pomus watching his wife dance with another man at his wedding, and King drew on that story to wring out the emotion in his vocals.
